I'll be curious to see how the math works out that they would make less. I would imagine that the whole idea of moving to a new arena is to increase their revenue drastically.
With the assumption that the amount of luxury suites should at least double, and every seat will increase in pricing by, lets say at least 25%, not to mention more concourse options and shops to increase streams of revenue, and if they get concert profits as well, how would they not make a fair amount more money from accept the city's proposed offer?
I agree with the post above that the Flames as it stands now are fine with the Saddledome. So they're not at the point that they need to desperately rush things. But in the long run, they need to move to a new arena since there's a lot more money that can be made.
